GitLab is a web-based Git-repository manager with wiki and issue-tracking features, using an open-source license, developed by GitLab Inc.

The software was written by Dmitriy Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov. As of December 2016, the company has 150 team members[5] and more than 1400 open-source contributors.[6] It is used by organisations such as IBM, Sony, Jülich Research Center, NASA, Alibaba, Invincea, O’Reilly Media, Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ), CERN[7][8][9], European XFEL, and SpaceX.[10]

The code was originally written in Ruby, with some parts later rewritten in Go.

History

  • In July 2013,[12] the product was split:
    • GitLab CE: Community Edition
    • GitLab EE: Enterprise Edition
      At that time, the license of GitLab CE and GitLab EE remained free and open-source software distributed under the MIT License.
  • In February 2014, GitLab announced[13] adoption of an open-core business model. GitLab EE is set under a proprietary license, and contains features not present in the CE version.[14]
  • In March 2015, GitLab acquired Gitorious, a competing Git hosting service. Eventually, the users were encouraged to move to GitLab.
  • In July 2016, the GitLab CEO confirmed the open-core business model of the company.[17]
  • In September 2016, GitLab raised $20 million in Series B funding from August Capital and others.[18]
  • In January 2017, a database administrator accidentally deleted the production database, in the aftermath of a cyber attack. Six hours worth of issue and merge request data was lost.[19]
  • On March 15, 2017, GitLab announced the acquisition of Gitter. Included in the announcement was the stated intent that Gitter would continue as a standalone project. Additionally, GitLab announced that the code would become open source under an MIT License no later than June 2017.[20]
  • In October, 2017, GitLab raised $20 million in Series C funding from GV and others.[21]
